Indoor Ski Bunnies: By 2015, Stockholm, Sweden, may have an indoor ski park. The city, which doesn’t have any snow-capped mountains, does have a ski club. And the members convinced an architectural firm to build an energy-efficient ski park housed inside a structure that’s powered by the sun, wind and water. The park will have a downhill slope as well as a 2.2-mile cross-country ski tunnel and a full-scale biathlon arena. Architects says the park will use 10 million kilowatt-hours of energy per year, which is less than half of what other indoor ski parks use. (3:47 p.m.)via PopSci

Altitude Sickness? There’s a Pill for That As many hikers know, high altitudes can make you feel ick — regular fatigue aside. Researchers believe it may be because a lack of oxygen to the brain can cause it to swell with fluids. One solution may be to pop ibuprofen. A clinical study by researchers at Stanford University found that taking the over-the-counter anti-inflammatory reduced altitude sickness symptoms by 26 percent in a study of 58 men and 28 women who slept and then hiked in a high altitude area of the White Mountains, Calif. Other altitude sickness drugs are available, (acetazolamide and dexamethasone to name a couple), but they can have more side effects than popping a couple Advil. (9:15 a.m.)via ABC Science Online
